. new f the a k p xtension.

My invention relates to a garment of the type disclosed in my copending application for patent filed on or about the 13th day of June 1916, Serial No. 103,371.

My improved garment comprises the coat or upper part 1, which is in the form of a jacket or jumper. To this 1s permanently attached the lower part 2, in the form ,of trousers or pants. The line of connection is about at the waist line 3.

The lower part 2 is provided with a suitable back drop 4, having an extension 5, extending up inside the lower edge of the back of the coat 1. The back drop extension 5 is supported inside of the lower part of the coat 1 by suitable fastening means. These fastening means are removed fromthe cor- Tlie fastenproperly supported irreing means, indicated at 6, may be in the form of buttons. These buttons engage suitable button holes in a flap 7 sewn or otherwise secured to theinner part of the coat 1. This flap may be readily reached for buttoning or unbuttoning the extension. The upper part of the back drop 4 is supported in position by suitable fastenings 8, preferably in the form of buttons engaging suitable button holes in the coat 1. The middle part of the back drop is preferably supported by fastenings 9, preferably in the form of buttons engaging suitable button holes in theside of the trousers A suitable dust excluding flap 10 is sewn or otherwise secured to the inside of the coat l'above the upper edge of the back drop extension 5. The corners of this flap are suitably secured in position bymcans of fastenings 17 in the form of buttons or other devices, engaging suitable button holes formed in the coat 1. The back drop 4 is provided with the usual back pockets l1, and the sides of the trousers Qare provided with usual side pockets 12, but it is to be understood that the details of the pockets form no part of the invention.

For the purpose of allowing the wearer perfect freedom of movement so that he may bend over and straighten up without the garment opening in the back and exposing his clothing, I provide the following instrumentalities The coat 1. is provided with a suitable stay or reinforced band 14.. This stay is sufficiently still so that when the wearer bends over and straightensup the back of the coat will be held down. This'stay may be made in any suitable manner, a typical one being shown in'Fig. 6. In the embodiment chosen for illustration the stay is formed of four layers of the material stitched inside of the center seam. It should be understood, however. that this stay may be made in any other suitable way.

The back drop extension is also provided with a suitable stay or band 15, which preferably extends from the waist line 3, up to the line of the buttons 6. This stay may be made in any suitable manner, for example as shown in Fig. 6. It will support the back drop extension so that when the wearer bends over and straightens up this back drop extension will not fall down and expose his clothing.

The dust excluding flap 10 is also provided with a similar stay 16. The purpose of this stay is to keep the dust excludingflap in position sothat it will not roll up when the wearer bends down and straightens up. It is to be understood that the garment is out sufliciently full so that when the wearer bends down or forward the fastenings will not be broken, V

Th corner fastenings 13 for the back drop extension are not essential and may be omitted as shown in Fig. 2. In this embodiment of the invention the back drop extension is supported solely by the fastenings 6.

Then my deviceis exhibited for sale and is heldup before the prospectivecustomer, the back drop extension is suitably supported in the center and does not produce an opening or gap as is the case where there are no such supports. At'the same'time the back dr p may be readily lowered and raised, the button holes in the. fiap 7 being readily reached.

In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes I have described the principle of my invention, together with the apparatus which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to have it understood that the apparatus shown is merely illustrative, and that the invention may be carried out in other ways.
